I have a question regarding mobile version of HTML site

IWelcomesocialmedia · 8th Jan 2012, 06:19 AM

I have a problem

My client site is in html I did built a mobile site in wp and then put a redirect script in the head tag of his main site .. the problem is the iste is not showing up as it should in smart phone. His non-mobile site is still showing.

Can someone tell me what could be the problem please?:confused:

There is probably something wrong with your script and/or where you put it. For example, you shouldn't put the script in the head tag. You should put it ABOVE everything else. At least all the scripts I use operate like that.

For example...

<?php
="http://PUT_YOUR_MOBILE_URL_HERE";
require_once("mdetect.php");
?>

<html>
<head>
<title> Website Title </title>

</head>

<body>
Content, etc.
</body>
</html>

If you're using their hosting and using a PHP script for detection, make sure their hosting supports PHP as well...

Jason,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I will check to see again where exactly i placed the script. Obviously I have done something wrong so I will check that.

Did you use a JavaScript or PHP to redirect? because if you have used PHP on a html page that really ends with .html then that is not gong to work. then you need to change the .html to .php

@para

do you know if the script is user agent based or using javascript screen size detection

if its user agent based it maybe for some reason the device you are using isnt being detected and reason its not being redirected...

if its using screen size detection and you are visiting the site on an android device i have found that on some of the android device do not always give an accurate screen size - it maybe that if your screen size limit is set too low its not tripping the redirect.

Personally this is one of the many reasons i prefer to use user agent detection that we have control over devices it detects... user agent detection can also be done using javascript too if the page is HTML based...
